Oh poop! Though I never was able to transition offworld, for some reason Avlis now thinks I belong on Ysgard - only I can't log in there either! Is there a DM that can help me be able to log into Avlis again? SORRY! Promise I'll never leave again!

Ysgard & Hala were reset a few hours ago - that fixed the timing out problems I was seeing. When I did log back in to Deglos to try the portal, it told me I was supposed to be on Ysgard, even tho previous portal attempts told me they had failed (timed out), and left me on Deglos. Fortunately Ysgard accepted my PC on logging in direct.

I was seeing an empty vault for up to around 30 secs before the servers reset - perhaps 'laggy-server syndrome' was causing some of the problems other players have been experiencing?

POOP! Sorry to keep posting on this but I'm running out of ideas. Ysgard can't help me because i don't have any character in my vault there. Is there anything on the Avlis side that can be done so i'm not dominated when i log in?

The á in the name would be an issue if UTF-8 conversion is still a problem. Don't know anything about the NWNX/Vaulster versions and OS types on both ends now, so it may not matter too. Themi would probably know if that still mattered. Knowing the versions might have helped with diagnosing the Deglos crashiness also.

And as Pleth said: Any DM can undominate you, on the Avlis side.

No, she hasn't - she's only tried to transfer (and failed every time). That's why it's mystifying that Avlis seems to think the transfer was successful.

guess I'll just keep looking for a DM who has the time to help

I am curious if you transfered last week or so when Ysgard was having problems. I am curious if Avlis gets you marked "not possessed" if you could then portal over. I would try it while the DM is there to see.

In order to figure out why this issue is occurring in the first place, I will need to see logs from the same time and date from both sides. Since I host Hala and Ysgard, I have direct access to their logs. However, I have not been successful in getting logs from the Avlis team in some time.

If someone on the staff is willing to work with me, and give me the log files, I can probably figure this out and resolve the issue. I did write or rewrite the vast majority of the core Vaultster scripts that are still in action and assisted PJ with the Linux port. If the core scripts have been changed since, then that may be part of the problem. I spent a significant amount of time back in the day resolving bugs with Vaultster and various character names.

A real quick check for anyone on the Avlis team with Vault access is to compare this character's name versus its actual filename. If the character has been renamed without updating the filename, it will guarantee that they cannot portal.

Shes a half-nymph so the character creation guy would have booted and edited her file, could that cause it?

Possible, but I doubt it. Plenty of custom characters portal just fine.
